The Sims 4: Update, repair, add DLC’s

Download, update, repair your game and add missing DLC’s.

Thanks to Anadius
from base game up-to and incl.  version 1.111.102.1030
“Wizard” Anadius came up with a program enabling you to update and repair your game with just a few mouse-clicks.

No manual downloads, no copy/paste, the program does it all
Only works for 64-bits Windows higher than  Win 7

Download Updater  
Extract the downloaded Updater with Winrar or 7.zip 
Click on Sims-4-updater-vxx.xx inside the folder (Where xx.xx represents a version number)
Click on Browse and select your The Sims 4 Installation Folder (don’t open it)
Click on Update, this will also repair your game
Language files will be installed if not already present.
With cracked games only, just click No

If you do have a legit game or you are using the pack system, click Yes
In that case an additional folder Game-cracked will be created and you can start your legal game with access to the Gallery via Your legal installation folder ->Game ->Bin ->TS4_x64.exe and you play with your legal DLC’s only.
You can start your cracked game incl. cracked DLC’s via
Your installation folder ->Game-cracked ->Bin ->TS4_x64.exe

You can just update your existing game without adding DLC’s  (Click OK)

The program shows an overview of non-installed DLC’s
(in this example SP21-SP30)

You can Add missing DLC’s
Tick the DLC’s you want to add to your game and click OK


Note for users with 32-bits Windows

Bear in mind that Discover University, Tiny Living, Eco Lifestyle, Nifty Knitting,  Star Wars,  Snowy Escape, Paranormal, the kits and Dream Home Decorator can not be played on 32 bits Windows, so no need to download these DLC’s.

Also note that the Legacy Edition is for 32 bits Windows only

 

 

The program is now checking all your installed DLC’s for the latest update and adds the ticked items to your game

 

Should an error occur, just repeat your last selections. All items already downloaded are stored in the folder Update. The program performs a quick check and continues the task.
(Make sure that the Updater is under the exceptions of your anti-virus)

Where is the base game ?

When you did not install the base game earlier, you should use the Repair option and the base game will be installed as well as your selected DLC’s.
Some people wish to play the fully updated base game without other DLC’s (lack of disk-space or computer not powerful enough ?). In such cases Click Repair and don’t tick other DLC’s.

First of all create a new folder The Sims 4 on your computer. Place that folder under the exceptions of your Anti-Virus program  Lead the updater in the first step to that folder.


Change language

  1. Download the Language Changer
  2. Double-Click on it and select your language
  3. Click Yes, Yes and OK in the pop-up screens.

Possible errors for new users who never played The Sims 4 before


You lost all DLC’s

When you switch from Origin to the new EA app you seemingly lost all your packs.

Solution:

  1. Re-apply the EA DLC Unlocker
  2. Click on Setup 
  3. Type 5 [enter] to uninstall the old Origin settings (When you get an error, try again)
  4. Type 1 [enter]
  5. Type 2 [enter]
  6. Type 19 [enter]
  7. Type q [enter]

  1. i got the legal basis game but when it get to EP11 (and everything after that) i keep getting ‘extracting EP11/ClientFullBuild0.package FAILED’ and ‘extracting EP11/thumbnails.package FAILED’. (did it 1 for 1, so not all at once).

    already tried removing the DLC folder. run the update again. still the same. Reinstalled the updater same thing. What can i do to solve this?

  2. Thanks you for this resource i have had the DLCs from you for a while now.. the only one i can’t get working is GP01 outdoor retreat. Am i doing something wrong- every other pack works fine

  3. Hi I’m currently using the cracked game but whenever I’m entering the CAS the aspirations panels are missing I did everything to fix it but it didn’t works at all can somebody help plz ?

    1. My cracked game won’t work at all. I make it to the load game and then it just loads for ever, but never actually starts, and I have left it on overnight and it still doesnt work.

  4. salut ! j’ai un problème mon jeu ne veut plus du tout lancer le mode créer un sims à chaque fois j’ai des téléchargements interminables c’est horrible je ne peux plus jouer aidez moi svp je suis désespérée

    1. J’ai pareil je ne peux lancer aucune partie c’est horrible. J’ai essayé d’enlever les mods et cc, de faire repair, mais rien ne fonctionne helppp

  5. “Thanks for providing such a valuable resource for Sims fans! It’s great to see a site that not only offers free downloads but also ensures they are safe and virus-free. The use of .iso format for large downloads is a smart choice to save time. Just a quick note: always make sure to have up-to-date antivirus software even with trusted sources. Looking forward to exploring the downloads available here!”

  6. “Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting guide! I found the instructions on using the Repair option and managing DLCs really helpful. For anyone encountering errors like ‘mscv120.dll missing,’ it’s great to have a step-by-step solution to follow. Additionally, switching from Origin to the EA app can be tricky, so the tips on reapplying the EA DLC Unlocker are particularly useful. This will definitely help users maintain their game setup smoothly. Keep up the excellent work!”

  7. I dw the legit basegame and try the anadius updater for the cracked dlcs. as its downloading i’ve got an error as it tried to dw the Get Together [1]. I have tried turning off the firewall yet it doenst work. any idea how?

  8. I play cracked version (offline) with full DLCs up until the last update (before this). If I update using this, will I retain my mods and cc? It won’t be deleted?

  9. my mods and game are all up to date and it will load my previously played household, and then load the manage world screen but if i try to build a plot or enter cas i just get stuck on the loading screen and have to restart my computer to exit it ….. or if im on the main menu and select new game, then the same deal with the loading screen…. just wondering if its me or the game/ if there’s anything i can do

    1. This was happening to me too. I ended up deleting the entire game and redownloading it. All of my saves were there but then again I used the legit game and used this to get the dlc’s, so I’m not sure if you’ll have your save files if you did what I did.

  10. from what ive seen ive never had this issue with older updates, but since the Lovestruck update most of my cc doesnt show up. I understand that some mods and cc dotn show up for work with unofficial games, but this issue has never happened before. I’ve tried just not installing lovestuck but the issue is still there.

  11. Salut Tarac, j’ai déja installé ta technique auparavant mais la ca marche plus, ta une solution stp ?

  12. Hi Tarac, can you help me add the latest expansion (lovestruck) to the legal game. Write me the procedure so I can save it and not bother you every time another expansion comes out

    1. First of all: check for new updates in the EA app. You must have the latest version number.
      Then the most simple way in Windows is to use the updater, when prompted about your legal game click yes, then apply the Unlocker

  13. Halo,pomocy! Zaaktualizowalam grilla,niby dodatek jest a tak naprawdę go nie ma. Jak chce wejść w nowym świat pisze ze nakladka zablokowała i mam wejść do ustawień aplikacji. O co chodzi? Innych rzeczy też nie ma.

  14. i literally cannot visit the new world, open the “Cupid’s Corner” and my games is INCREDIBLY glitchy

    1. Check your mods. I have the same issues, I just removed my mods folder, it works just fine. I just have to find the culprit and remove it.

    2. Anche io non riesco ad aprire il nuovo mondo, riesco solo a vedere i nuovi oggetti, qualcuno può aiutarmi??
      Quali mod creano conflitto??

  15. so now i can’t open then game from steam? like do i have to open the cracked version from the folder to play? sorry, i didn’t understand that part

  16. I downloaded the new pack Lovestruck but when I go to my game it says I don’t possess the pack. And it’s not in my game.

  17. Your detailed guide on installing and updating The Sims 4 base game and DLCs is greatly appreciated. The step-by-step instructions are highly useful, especially when it comes to troubleshooting common errors. The information about managing DLCs and changing the language is clear and easy to follow. This will definitely make the installation process smoother for new users. Great job!

  18. I’m sorry to ask but I’m currently experiencing an issue with my sims not wanting to wash dishes or Laundry. Plus they also freeze from time to time…HELP PLEASE

    1. sims tend to glitch when something needs updating or cc (and other mods) haven’t been redownloaded so as annoying and tedious as it is, you might need to double check if its still happening

  20. Hi Anadius can you send me the link to install the sims 2 ultimate collection in Italian because the procedure you wrote for changing the language on my computer doesn’t work.

  21. PLEASE ANADIUS CAN YOU ANSWER ME THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING YOU FOR MANY DAYS 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  22. Hi Anadius I have this problem on the sims 4 I removed the cracked expansions and on the app to re-enable them it tells me this:

    Fatal error: ea_desktop\version.dll missing, you didn’t extract all files or your anti-virus deleted it.
    Script path: C:\Users\david\Desktop\setup.bat

    1. Tu dois supprimer l’antivirus de ton ordinateur / le désactiver et réessayer..
      Normalement ça devrait aller !

  23. hey so when i open some worlds they put me to a completely blank screen- ran the repair on the updater but still isnt doing the job. any advice?

  24. Is the installation or ALL PACKS usually hours long? I’ve left this window open to install for about two days, just realizing I needed to download the DLC Unblocker and when i did the installation process is the same pace. Thoughts?

  26. some of the lots in my sims game are showing up with a caution sign above it ⚠️ like this, i can’t go to those lots and when i open the lot nothing is there. i’ve tried using the repair button and it said all done but nothing happened. how do i fix it?

  27. There’s no option to install the For Rent and Horse Ranch expansion pack in the updater, even though it’s updated.

  28. was using the 1.96.397 game version on anadius’s cracked version, was working perfectly fine, chose to use this updater so i could use a mod that needs an newer versionof the game, it updated fine to 1.107.112 but on statup, it crashed, so i restarted and clicked new game, placed my saved fam in sulani and now everytime i try to load the family to play, the game kicks me back to select which world to start in, itll let me go to sulani but each time i click on the play icon it boots me back to world selction.

    i took all my mods off before updating so i know it cant be those causing the issue and ive attempted to use the repair function and nothing has changed

  29. Whenever I try to play it will crash as soon as it launches, I’ve tried to delete the updater and restart but the game won’t update to the exact date I re-installed it.

  30. I recently updated my game and installed For Rent, and i built an apartment in Brindleton Bay. The next day when i opened the game, Brindleton Bay wouldnt load. I have tried the Repair option in the updater, Ive tried the update button, I have moved my mods out and disabled mods, ive restarted the computer multiple times nothing is fixing it. The only solution any one could give for this bug is to delete all mods and locathumbcache.package and create a new game, which did give me access to the Brindleton Bay world again but that doesnt help me considering I need the apartment i was building back from my old save. Any fixes?

  31. Is it possible to uninstall some of the packs that I don’t use after installation with this tool?

  32. Hey so I’ve downloaded all the packs, been using this since January, but recently my game hasn’t been working, on the loading screen, I have to CLICK the screen for it to get off the loading screen, and when I load into my game my sims just stand around and dont do anything, I’ve tested all my mods since I don’t have a lot, but they aren’t the problem, do you think you could help me figure out whats wrong?

    1. I have the same problem. I’ve been using these since last year but now that I changed my laptop I had to download everything again. Now my sims just won’t do anything. I thought the mods were the problem, but even when I take all of them my sims just don’t move lol

  33. Hello Anadius,

    I have used your updater several times and always succeeded, but this time it says:
    – “Updater encountered a critical error and cannot continue”
    -” Download failed for Full Patch 41″

    Also, I cannot download SP52 and SP53 individually, this has never happened before.

    I wonder if maybe I am missing something here? should I install something before the updater or SP52&53?

    It would mean a lot if you can help with this.

    Thank you so much

  34. Hello,
    I have problem with game from your website that I’ve downloaded.Almost everytime when I open game it freeze,then comes back to normal and then when I want to load save file and enter household,I play for a while then it freeze again and crashes.

    1. I forgot to mention that this keeps happening after I updated the game.I’ve update through your sims 4 updater,didn’t do copy-paste or anything.I’ve deleted some mods that I’ve thought maybe those mods caused problem,however problem is still the same.
